Bill Gates Blows $2.5 Million Decking Out His Personal "Cubicle"
Nobody knows exactly what Bill Gates is doing with his new company, bgC3, but rumors are floating around that the Big PC Man himself is shelling out big dinero for his new digs. For his private office, he is supposedly spending over $2.5 million on high-end furniture. That’s not even including the $75,000 coffee bar. I thought excessive spending was going out of style, but hey, if you have $2.5 million lying around to spend on your personal office, I know a few struggling bloggers out there, cough, who wouldn’t mind a nicer couch...

In case dominating the worldwide computer market, being one of the richest men alive and breaking entirely new ground on what it means to be a philanthropist wasn't enough, Bill can finally say he's made it.

Want Windows 7 Super Early? Get Your Conference Pants On
Who isn't ready for Windows 7? That wiser, stabler, more streamlined OS with Vista's good looks but an even prettier Start button and an alleged 15-second boot time? Heck, even Bill Gates is excited to get on to the next version. You can get your hands on a "pre-beta" version of Windows 7 by attending the Professional Developer Conference (PDC) in LA October 27 to 30, or the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC), also in LA shortly after, from November 5 to 7. Go get them, and then report back to us with some new info. [Vista Blog; screenshot from WinFuture.de]
